last night, as ryan was holding sullivan, i noticed how nicely he was fitting into his 'puppy pals' sleeper. this is one of my favorite outfits--it has little paws on the bottom of the feet! too cute. but my realization of the nice fit led me to the next thought....soon he was going to be too big for it! then he won't be able to wear puppy pals ever again.
ever again!
he is almost a month old, i can hardly believe it. we have come so far! had so many firsts, learned so many things. and while there are many more to come, many moments have passed, never to return again. you could say this about everyday life, like 'oh, this is the only october 3, 2008 that there will ever be' but it is so much more poignant when you are talking about a baby who is growing and changing before your very eyes.
i was writing a thank-you note to someone who bought a 6-9 month outfit for him, and i said 'i can't wait to see him in it!' but the truth is, i can wait. he will be six months before i know it. he will be in COLLEGE before i know it.
before sullivan was born, ryan wanted to put a little note on the door of his room saying 'cherish these moments' so that when we have to get up in the middle of the night with him, we would read that and remember to hold on to this time. but i don't need the note. everytime i look at him i am reminded that his time as a baby is short. don't grow too fast sullivan!
